"Alright!"
Li Di immediately rebutted.
Li Di didn't think that with ministers like him, Kou Zhun, and Wang Zeng assisting the officials, the Song Dynasty would become a racetrack for the Xixia and Liao people.
Kou Ji sighed secretly and did not speak again.
However, Ma Yuanfang suddenly spoke and helped Kou Ji to relieve the siege, "Li Xiang, even though the Kou Industry Department used some tricks, it did not do anything to harm the people and the court.
He didn't violate the laws of the country, but you are so aggressive, isn't it a bit too much? "
Li Di stared and looked at Ma Yuanfang, "The old man is too much? He plays with people's hearts and uses all means to achieve his goals. Can't the old man question him?"
Ma Yuanfang glanced at Li Di and smiled sarcastically, exposing Li Di's lies.
"Speaking of playing with people's hearts, the civil and military of the dynasty, who doesn't play with people's hearts? To achieve goals, unscrupulous, and countless? Why don't you scold others, but stare at a junior who has done a lot for the country and the people. Hold on.
In the final analysis, it was the work done by the Kou Industry Department, out of your control.
Those of you who are in power in the court, always want to hold everything in the world in your hands.
Whenever someone jumps out of your palm, you feel unhappy. "
At this point, Ma Yuanfang paused, staring at Li Di jokingly, and then said: "But have you ever thought about how many things you can really hold in the palm of your hand in the world
If you can really do everything in control of your desires, where would you be the poor in the world? Where is the misery
You also bullied the Kou Ministry of Industry.
Knowing that they are young and respectful to you, they will not count you..."
Li Di yelled angrily: "Ma Yuanfang!"
Seeing Li Di's anger, Ma Yuanfang said: "Why? I was so embarrassed by the old man that I became angry?"
Li Di shouted: "I Li Di is not that kind of person!"
Ma Yuanfang sneered, staring at Li Di, and questioned: "That Wang Qinruo is also a master of playing with people's hearts, and his methods are several times more fierce than the Kou Ministry of Industry. More importantly, he plays with people's hearts. Self-interest, why don't you ask him?"
Li Di gritted his teeth: "Naturally I won't let Wang Qinruo go!"
"Ha ha… "
Ma Yuanfang laughed mockingly: "Come on. The worst person framed by Wang Qinruo back then was Kou Zhun. Now that Kou Zhun is in the position of the general regent, and he can't avenge Wang Qinruo's private revenge, what can you do with others? "
Li Di was about to rebut.
I saw Ma Yuanfang wave his hand and mumbled: "A person who helps the court work in a down-to-earth manner is not as comfortable as those treacherous villains who are guarded by you.
The treacherous villains in the courtroom were forced out step by step by you.
Can't we be less jealous, less intrigue, and do more for the people? "
After listening to Ma Yuanfang's words, Li Di sat there with a gloomy face and said nothing.
He didn't understand what Ma Yuanfang said.
Just being in a high position, many things cannot be done according to one's own thoughts and own temperament.
More often, the safety of the royal family must be considered.
When the safety of the royal family was threatened, he had to stop it even if it was a great thing.
Seeing Li Di's silence, Ma Yuanfang said: "The old man doesn't care about the plans of the Kou Industry Department, nor does he care that he has been drawn into the game by the Kou Industry Department.
The old man only cares whether the people profited from the plan of the Kou Industry Department.
If the common people profited from the plan of the Ministry of Industry, why not the old man was calculated once by the Ministry of Industry
If the Kou Industry Department had the means to prevent the world from being poor, even if the old man was calculated to die by the Kou Industry Department, he would not say a complaint by the Kou Industry Department in the Yin Division. "
Li Di suddenly got up, glanced at Ma Yuanfang and Kou Ji, and left the hall with a cold face.
Seeing this, Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry.
Ma Yuanfang didn't care at all whether his words offended Li Di today. He looked at Kou Ji and said with a chucking mouth: "Boy, now do you realize a little bit of the truth that a good person is hard to do?"
Kou Ji stretched out his hand and gestured, "A little bit..."
Ma Yuanfang nodded, "Since ancient times, a good person has been difficult to do. Being a good person is far more difficult than being a bad person, and at the same time it has to endure a hundred times harder.
But we cannot give up being a good person just because there are too many difficulties and hardships.
As long as you have a right heart, you don't need to care about the way you do things, and you don't need to care about the voices of others' doubts. "
Kou Ji pondered for a while, bowed to Ma Yuanfang, and solemnly said: "Thank you for his teaching..."
Kou Ji also understands what Ma Yuanfang said.
Even he has been doing this all the time.
But this does not prevent him from paying respect to an elder who is willing to teach himself sincerely.
Ma Yuanfang smiled and waved his hand, "You don’t need to be polite... Li Di’s stubborn donkey, I’m afraid it’s hard to figure it out for a while. The old man is too old and can’t stand it for too long. I’ve troubled you to run more in the examination room in recent days several times."
Kou Ji arched his hands: "No trouble..."
Ma Yuanfang nodded in satisfaction, got up with a cane in one hand, beat the back with the other, muttered in his mouth, and walked out.
"Lao old... I can't make it through the night..."
"..."
After Ma Yuanfang left, Kou Ji was left alone in the hall.
Kou Ji stared at the entrance of the hall and said quietly: "Although I angered Grandpa Li, my plan has been completed, and it is almost time to harvest..."
As Ma Yuan said, good people are hard to do.
When good people do good things, they are always misunderstood.
But when the results come out, all misunderstandings will be solved.
Kou Ji couldn't stop his plan because of Li Di's anger.
…
Without Li Di and Ma Yuanfang, Kou Ji took on the important task of patrol examination alone.
Although subordinate officials are available, Kou Ji still likes to patrol the examination room by himself.
Of course.
He chose to visit the examination room in person, not because he was loyal to his duties, but because he wanted to avenge his personal revenge.
Kou Ji is not Kou Zhun, and can tolerate enemies like Wang Qinruo jumping in front of him.
He would not let any of the students who had released rumors and slander him as long as they were in the examination room.
According to the list and roster in his hand, he compared them one by one, and found the exam numbers of those students.
Then, nothing extraordinary was done.
From time to time, passing by the students.
Occasionally, something louder fell from the body.
Whenever he passed by those students, or after something louder fell from his body, those students would have a thump in their hearts.
Those students have spread his rumors and vilified him.
When facing him, I was guilty.
If he is making some noise, how can those students still have the mind to answer the questions
The beautiful articles in their heads, as Kou Ji passed by again and again, interrupted again and again, and finally all turned into a mess.
How can you write an article
Except for one or two with strong stress resistance, it is normal for most people who offended Kou Ji to fail the rankings.
As for whether they can be taken in the next subject, it depends on Kou Ji's mood.
Although Kou Ji may not be an examiner in the next subject.
But he still has a way to make those students lose their name.
A boring scientific expedition.
It finally ended after a few days.
The students rushed out of the Gongyuan in relief.
The officials in the Gongyuan have entered the busiest state.
Li Di, who had been bored in the room for a few days, finally appeared in front of the others.
When Kou Ji saw Li Di again, he found that Li Di was obviously thinner, and there were some red blood in his eyes.
Seeing Kou Ji, he didn't ask harshly.
Instead, he nodded and entered the room.
After the three examiners and more than a dozen subordinate officials arrived, after Li Di spoke a long series of warning words, they began to review the papers.
The process of scoring is similar to that of Qiuwei.
Almost everyone looked at their own papers.
Occasionally, when I come across one or two papers that are uncertain, I will take them out and discuss them with others.
"This volume has outstanding literary talent, it's a great talent!"
Among the officials who reviewed the papers, some were attracted by a test paper and couldn't help but praise.
The others looked sideways.
Seeing this, the subordinate officer who read the paper did not show any twitchiness. Instead, he praised the test paper on the opponent.
"My colleagues, this volume is top-grade from the perspective of pen and ink alone. Not to mention the content of the article..."
The rest of the people leaned in and took a closer look.
Someone stared at the papers, stroked their beards, and exclaimed: "Just by looking at the pen, you know that this person is quite successful in publishing a book, and the article is even more outstanding. The pros and cons of the imperial court’s abolition of the Border Chamber regime have hit the nail on the head.
Can be regarded as the work above. "
"Poetry is also excellent... To tell you, his poetry is quite aura, even if I am against him, I dare not say anything..."
"..."
The words of praise were frequently spoken by the officials who reviewed the papers.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of Li Di, Ma Yuanfang, and Kou Ji who were sitting in the back room waiting for the final trial.
Li Di said to the young official beside him: "What a talented article that has attracted them so admiration. Go get it and let the three of me have a look."
The little official agreed, exited the back room, and took the paper to the three of Li Di.
Li Di had taken the paper from the young official's hand, just glanced at it, and then threw it aside.
Seeing Li Di's behavior abnormally, Ma Yuanfang picked up the paper curiously, reviewed it carefully, and wondered: "Li Xiang, this person is quite literary and knows a lot about the government affairs of the court. Why do you read his papers? , Dismissively."
Li Di said indifferently: "The literary talent is good, but his character is extremely poor. Even if we take him, he will be expelled from the Chui Gong Hall when it comes to the palace examination. The old man doesn't want to see it. Such a grand event was ruined in the hands of this person."
Hearing this, Kou Ji knew who made the papers in Ma Yuanfang's hands.
It must be Liu Yong undoubtedly.
However, Ma Yuanfang said with a puzzled look: "Li Xiang can tell who this person is based on his calligraphy alone?"
The imperial examination adopts an ambiguous system.
Generally, it is difficult to determine who owns the paper without opening the name.
Although pen and ink calligraphy can tell who made the paper, it is not accurate.
Therefore, after the implementation of the name system, some people came up with cheating methods to make hidden marks on the papers.
It's just that Li Di obviously doesn't like this person, and obviously has no idea of helping this person cheat.
How could this person leave a hidden mark for Li Di to find out
Li Di stared at the paper in Ma Yuanfang's hand and snorted coldly, "His handwriting has been seen by the old man three times. And the stern and stern words in his poems, the old man's ears were all calluses.
How can the old man not know who he is? "
Ma Yuanfang was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "Liu Sanbian?"
Li Di nodded deeply.
Ma Yuanfang dropped the paper in his hand casually, stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "That's really undesirable..."
Ma Yuanfang was not deliberately banning Liu Yong.
But he really had prejudices against Liu Yong.
Ma Yuanfang very much agrees with Li Di's statement.
He felt that Liu Yong had a character problem.
He wasn't jealous of Liu Yong's beauty around him. He really felt that Liu Yong's character was problematic from Liu Yong's behavior.
What's the problem
Unfaithful and unfilial.
What is the official family
That's the king's father.
The ruler doesn't like you, if you say a few words, you have to accept it with a humility.
Rather than making poems to preach that the father does not know talents.
You are the son of the king.
In the large court, he wrote poems to publicize the monarch's ignorance of talents.
Who would like you for doing such an unfaithful thing
You're pretty good without killing you.
Still want to be taken
Kou Ji picked up Liu Yong's paper in the cold expressions of Li Di and Ma Yuanfang.
The eyes of Li Di and Ma Yuanfang fell on Kou Ji for an instant.
Kou Ji carefully reviewed Liu Yong's papers, and couldn't help but admire: "It's true that the literary talent is flying..."
Kou Ji didn't deliberately praised him to help Liu Yong get the middle.
Kou Ji is telling the truth.
Because so far, the only people who can write articles that he can't understand are Fan Zhongyan and Liu Yong, except for some important ministers in the court.
On the one hand, it shows that Kou Ji has no learning and skill.
On the other hand, it shows that those who write articles have studied books and classics to a very high level.
Seeing Kou Ji admiring Liu Yong's article, Li Di couldn't help but say: "Could it be that you plan to risk the world and take this person who claims to be your student?"
Kou Ji was holding Liu Yong's paper, a little thoughtful.
honestly.
Liu Yong, as a famous celebrity, appeared in front of him now, but he had some thoughts to support him.
But considering Liu Yong's reputation and Liu Yong's style, he hesitated again.
Seeing this, Ma Yuanfang said earnestly: "The old man has to remind you that once you take him, you will inevitably be impeached by hundreds of officials."
Li Di gritted his teeth, and after all, he spoke, "This person speaks regardless of the consequences, if he says something arrogant after taking it, or after he enters an official position, he says something unreasonable.
It will hurt you at that time.
It's not a bad thing to regret, but it's not a good thing to hurt yourself in order to support others. "
